Sub Culture

I have been contemplating getting my lip pierced because I am more of a at tattoo pain kinda girl but after lots of peer pressure from my mother (who originally was trying to convince me to pierce my nose) I agreed to go ahead and do it. I called every shop in Orville, Chico and red bluff and the last place I called was Sub Culture. I can’t remember anyone’s names but the lady that answered the phone gave off such a great vibe that I was convinced I didn’t have to continue looking. So I took the 45 min drive (with a very impatient 2 year old) and am so glad I did. The lady was just as welcoming in person as she was over the phone and the guy that was piercing was too. And although my fear was right, I hated the pain and have decided piercings are just not for me, they made my experience as best as it could have been. I have pierced my tongue, my belly button twice and a few others but for some reason my lip hurt more than them all. But I had about 10 years of convincing myself that my face would be the most painful so I absolutely believe that’s why I hated it so much. But I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone.

I took a Pegasus Mechanical Mod into Sub Culture which I purchased at a bay area head shop. It had problems to say the least. They were nice enough figure out the problem and get it going for me for free. I’ll be bringing my business to Sub Culture from now on.

This rating and review is only for the retail portion of the store as I have not sampled either the body piercing or tattoo portion of their services. I will say though the general attitude of the shop makes me not want to. I think they go out of their way to hire rude, dismissive people to work for them. It’s unfortunate because I’m told the piercer himself is a nice guy. But every time I have gone into that store they have completely ignored me and continued chatting with their friends (not helping another customer like I originally thought). They have no interest in the casual shopper in this store so if you’re just popping in to check it out, expect over priced merchandise and no help. Personally I think Sub Culture is pretty subpar.
